slow access on high speed internet

[Guest]

for some reason, getting a web page to open is difficult. I'll click GO to a site, the %done indicator (little blue bars that come up at the bottom of the screen) are very slow. If I wait and wait, i can finally get to the webpage, but while waiting, if i click again, i can get right to the website. any suggestions on what is going on with this?

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded. There's also a lot more to do than just those two programs.

I've tried Adaware and it did not help me with a similar problem that I have
when going to one site specifically.

I've been trying to nail this one for a while now.

The site http://www.mytelus.com/ is all of a sudden extremely slow to
load on my desktop, yet it still smokes with other computers on my network.

By viewing my network connection icon, I see that whenever I go to this
site, a short download will occur and then no network activity, then other
small network packets sent to and from, all taking 30 seconds or longer.

I have a cable connection hooked up to a router and it used to smoke on my
desktop, and still does on other computers, maybe 5 seconds fully downloaded
tops.

I've tried the re-install IE and then an in place fix of XP to no avail.

I've tried AdAware.

hmmm...

p.s. nothing new has been installed that I can recall except Windows
updates.

Any other ideas?
